# Verify Your WhatsApp Business Display Name

Your **WhatsApp Business Display Name** is the name customers see when they chat with your business or view your WhatsApp profile.

When you **add a new phone number** to your WhatsApp Business Account in your **Meta Business Portfolio**, you’ll need to assign a **Display Name** to it.\
This name helps customers easily recognize your business and maintain trust while interacting with you on WhatsApp.

If you’re using the **3Sigma WhatsApp Business API**, setting an approved display name ensures your messages appear professional and fully compliant with WhatsApp’s business policies.

***

#### 🏷️ What Is a Display Name?

Your display name should clearly represent your business — it must be related to your company, brand, or service.

**Examples:**\
✅ *SmartBuild Infra Pvt. Ltd.*\
✅ *Elite Realty by SmartBuild*\
✅ *GrowMore Finance Services*\
❌ *Best Deals in Town*\
❌ *Official SmartBuild Verified*

Your name must comply with the **WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy** and the **Display Name Guidelines**.

If your WhatsApp account is managed by a **Business Solution Provider (BSP)** — such as 3Sigma — your BSP will help configure and submit your display name for review.

***

### 🔍 WhatsApp Display Name Review Process

You can start using WhatsApp Business Platform **immediately after onboarding** — you don’t have to wait for the display name review to complete.

Once your business starts using WhatsApp:

1. ✅ **WhatsApp reviews your Display Name** for consistency and compliance.
2. 📈 The name becomes eligible for formal review as your messaging limit increases.
3. 🔔 You’ll be notified once your display name is approved or if changes are required.

If you edit your display name later, the **new version will go through a fresh review** before it can appear publicly.

### 🌟 WhatsApp Official Business Account (Green Tick)

If your business aims to get the **green verified tick (✅)**, it must qualify as a **notable business** — one that is:

🏢 Well-known or widely recognized\
📰 Mentioned in credible publications or has a strong online presence

Official business verification is applied **per phone number**, and can use your current or updated display name when applying.

**Examples:**\
✅ *Hindware Home Innovation*\
✅ *GrowMore Finance*\
✅ *Elite Realty by SmartBuild*\
❌ *Top Property Deals* (too generic)

Learn more about applying for the official green tick in your [**WhatsApp Manager**](https://business.facebook.com/latest/whatsapp_manager/overview).

### ⚙️ How to Edit or Verify Your Display Name

1. Open [WhatsApp Manager](https://business.facebook.com/latest/whatsapp_manager/overview)
2. Click **Phone Numbers** in the left sidebar
3. Select your **WhatsApp number**
4. Go to **Profile → Edit Display Name**
5. Enter your **registered business name exactly as on your website or documents**
6. Save your changes and wait for review

***

#### 📘 Tips 

* Use your **registered or brand name** (e.g., *Elite Realty Pvt. Ltd.*, *GrowMore Finance*).
* Avoid using offers or slogans (❌ *20% Off*, ❌ *India’s Best Service*).
* Keep consistency across your **website, GST certificate, and social profiles**.
* For sub-brands, mention their parent relationship (✅ *SmartBuild Homes by SmartBuild Infra*).
